Wacky Wednesday What's Up?
Good Morning Family,
I am waiting for the nurse to come change my dressings. Actually, it is one dressing and two bandaids.
After she leaves, I will be tidying and later taking Utley for a walk. It is supposed to go to 61 degrees today.
I hope everyone is having a blessed day today.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Morning Trish, OFFr Friends,
It certainly is wacky with temps climbing to 60s in February, so weird this winter, this is the warmest winter I can ever remember, I don't think the ground ever went into a deep frost this year, because we have not had sufficiently cold weather on a consistent basis, I knew we were going to have a mild winter, but I did not ever think it would be this mild, not complaining in any shape or form, but it's wacky, my only complaint would be that it seems the warmest days are those I am in work. . .
Speaking of which I am at my desk, yesterday went quickly and I'm hoping for more of the same today, nooner AA meeting and a visit with my DIL and grandchildren tonight, that's all she wrote folks.
Have a wonderful day and as always I wish those of you with more serious life challenges the peace and strength to get through it all.
Hugs, Laureen

Good mornin', ya'll.
Well, a quiet Wednesday here.
Yesterday I went to have labs done at my oncologist's. Next Tuesday I will get the results of that and of last month's CT Scan. I know that was OK or they would have called for me to come in sooner.
Our grandson is still trying to convince his Mom to let him stay til Sunday. She has a call in to the academy. I don't really care. All he does is sleep, eat and play video games. Things he can't do any time he wants at the academy! His computer screen has some weird lines in it. I need to call about sending it in for repair/replacement. It has a year warranty that is up in May.
Still working on that adorable caterpillar outfit thing for my cousins baby. Then on to the trim on an otherwise finished baby afghan.
We are also having fantastic winter weather. We will be in the 60s for the next few days. Hooray!
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Good morning my OFF sistas!
It's my one-year Surgiversary! Hooray! My life is absolutely wonderful now. I can bend and move and get up and down off the furniture and the floor. I wear a very respectable size 16 and I feel NORMAL and HEALTHY again! I am so very grateful to God for this second chance at life. I am grateful to my husband and my family for their support and their unconditional love. And I'm grateful for all my new friends on this forum for their love and support too. This would have been a very difficult and lonely journey without all of you.
So I went for my bloodwork this morning. Next week I have my appointment with Dr. Garth in Houston. I feel so good, I just believe my bloodwork results will be excellent. I do my best to take all my pills every day. Sometimes I miss a dose, but for the most part, I get them all down all the time.
And yes, Monica, I did get my carpets cleaned yesterday. Oh, they did an excellent job. All the spots and stains are gone, gone, gone. My carpet is clean and fresh and SOFT again. They brushed up the nap and it looks brand new. Now if I can only keep it that way for the next several months. I tell you all, I will never have carpeting again with the dogs. It's just too much work and the dogs can't help what they track in. I will only put hardwood floors in at the lake houses.
Today I think I will tackle my pantry. I have this big walk-in pantry and it needs to be cleaned out, the shelf paper replaced, and then whole thing needs to be reorganized. I want it to look like a mini-convenience store when I am done. It will probably take me two days to do it, since I have to replace the shelf paper. Best to do it now while Butch is gone and I don't have to cook for anyone but me.
That painter never did come out here or even give me a courtesy call. Grrrr. I'm getting sick and tired of these service people and contractors who don't do what they say they're going to do! I thought the economy was bad and people were hurting for work?! Why am I having to BEG these folks to come out here and take my money? It's nuts.
Marti, I would value any advice or words of wisdom you have to offer! You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned how hard it is to get a house ready to show and then keep it in ready-to-show condition. I'm not looking forward to it! I'm already making up little checklists of things I need to do every day, like wipe out the sinks and empty the wastebaskets.
Well, I'm starving since I had to fast for my bloodwork. I'd better go fix me a bite of breakfast before I fall out from low blood sugar. Wishing everyone a fabulous day!
Love you all, my sistas!

HAPPY SURGIVERSARY VIC!
I feel your pain about the service people. I guess it's the same everywhere. My son tells me that these so-called handymen, self-employed house painters, etc. are basically people who can't keep regular jobs because they are total screw ups. They show up to a job only when their liquor money runs out.
A neighbor started to build stairs to my loft (it had a dinky ladder), and stopped showing up when it was halfway done, but he had collected 3/4 of the money. I called and stopped by his house and his sister told me he would not come bac****il I gave him a key to my house!!! I guess they wanted to help themselves to my stuff. So the stairs remained without rails for about a year until I found a carpenter who finished the job.
There are lots of repairs I want done, but will not give more than 1/4 deposit, and they all want at least 1/2. I'm afraid they'll just take it a disappear.
Have a great day and I hope all your blood tests are fine.

One year is awesome. I had the privilege of dancing with my son at his wedding the week of my one year surgiversary. I hate to admit it, but I looked awesome. I have had some regain, because of my alcohol relapse, but I am back to losing even so.
Enjoy your new life.
Hugs,
Trish

Happy surgiversary, Vickie! I remember my first year ... I was so energetic ... then it left me. I know that won't happen to you.
Too bad you're having problems with handymen. ... I had a good one in Michigan, but I agree, they can be hard to find. I got a recommendation from a friend in ceramics on my handyman and although it was hard sometimes to get him to come over (he was very busy, very much in demand), when he did come over, he got the job done and did it well.
And then there's my nephew-in-law, who had his own business for awhile, but decided he had too much business and needed health insurance for his family, so he went back to a real job. He still does some on the side, mostly for family and friends.

Good morning Trish and everyone.....
Not much happening here. i still haven't seem a doctor and really need to. The insurance agent from the store called about my fall. She is saying they might not be liable as anyone could have dropped that grape. Then she had the nerve to ask me if I had grapes in my cart...NO!!! I think it may be time to call an attorney about this. I don't want to but I need med attention and I can't pay for it!!
I shouldn't be whining as so many of you have cancer and so many other worse things going on.
Wishing you all a god day. I am going to go lay down for a while. Prayers for so many in need.
Love and hugs to all....connie d
